At last year's auto show, there were two rednecks (one had a ford racing shirt) walking by a Mini display, and one of them said "pfft, them minis are like BMWs, they will fall apart in a few months. I was just cracking up
I'm lost? [sm=grin.gif]

I looked at and drove the 350 when I was in the market for a new car. I was impressed with the handling but the whole car just didnt seem to match the price tag. It felt very underpowered for the money. It is indeed a nice car but I prefer speed and handling over luxury which is why I will pass on it, if it was in the mid low 20k it may be a different story.


For all the money of the turbo kit it just wouldnt be worth it, IMO there are better platforms to start with for the money.

This is so retarted.
1. Comparing a 350 to a WRX is like apples and oranges. If your spooging over performance and handling without a turbo go buy a corvette.
2. I cant believe the arguement is about power. It runs a 14 flat in the 1320, whoopty doo! The 350z isnt designed to blow anyones doors off, but take it to a windy road and I will bet you money your jaw will hit the floor. Ever wonder why its so expensive? Take a look at the suspension and how its engineered.

Guys I have to agree, the comparisons are pointless.
Im the next in line for my cousins 350Z. Hes had it for 6 months and he paid £30K for it.
Hes offered to sell it to me for £20K in anohter 6 months, but i think he will go to £15K.
IMO Amazing car, but also WRX Amazing car, but they are in different departments Turbo and NA.
My vote with 350Z tho.

For the same price or even less you can pick up a WRX STi or an Evo, you think the 350 is quick on a twisty road. Its not even in the same catagory. Not even close to it.

how do you figure? the WRX or EVO can take turns a lot faster with AWD then the 350 can and they can also acclerate a lot faster without losing traction on snow or wet pavement then the 350z can, the 350 will just kick out sideways.

What dealership lets a 17 year old take a 350Z for an hour?? Cause i'm 22, and i'll gladly go take an hour long rip on that thing
doesnt matter...he has an unrestricted lisence.

ive never driven an S2000, ridden in one tho.
Doesnt matter if hes got an unrestricted license or not, usually someone selling a 35k+ dollar car is not going to let a 17 year old, and a 15 year old "take it for a spin." Let alone an hour long drive, not without the salesman in the car anyway. Let me know the name of that place cause i'm seriously going to go there and take a drive for myself
